Your keyboard
is becoming an agent.
Agentic keyboards are a new interface pattern: keyboards that don't just take your typing — they take action. Search the web, book reservations, run cross-app workflows, all without leaving the app you're in.
What is an agentic keyboard?
An agentic keyboard is a mobile keyboard that can understand intent and take action, not just correct words or predict the next phrase. It turns the keyboard into an always-available command surface for mobile AI.
Instead of switching from Messages to Maps to a booking app, an agentic keyboard can search, summarize, compose, book, or share from the place where you are already typing.
